<br />EXHIBIT '°C" <br />MINING PLAN <br />a. Mining Dates <br />Mining is proposed to start shortly after permit approval and is expected [o last from 5 to ] 0 years <br />maximum, depending on business demand. <br />b. Topsoil -soil suitable as plant growth medium. <br />There is no topsoil as such on the subject permit area. In the mid-1970's, the top lift of material was <br />removed from this site in construction of Highway 83. This was before reclamation was required or <br />enforced. Since that time, some revegetation has occurred with native grasses and weeds developing <br />into an acceptable cover to prevent erosion and blowing. During this period there has been some <br />humus buildup from the root structures, but there is no topsoil on site. The 4" of humus material <br />could possibly be considered a plant growth medium. However, since the site will be developed for <br />residential and commercial use, the usual amount of topsoil will not be needed. The developer will <br />save the upper humus layer for use in the residential areas. <br />c. Thickness of overburden or quantity of waste rock. <br />As explained above, the top lift of material has been removed so there is no overburden or waste <br />rock left in the permit azea. <br />d. Thickness of the deposit to be mined. <br />The deposit varies from 8' to 20" in depth. <br />e. Major components of the mining operation. <br />1. Access is south from B Street on the road indicated on the map, and included in the permit <br />acreage. <br />2. The plan is to have 3 sepazate 110 permits adjoining each other in a north/sou[h direction -North, <br />Middle and South pits, with each encompassing slightly less than 10 acres. There will be a 4.034 <br />A out-pazcel in this permit, which is being excluded, since it evidenced no aggregate present in the <br />core drilling program.. <br />3. No permanent office, shop or maintenance buildings are present or proposed. Portable crushing <br />and screening equipment will probably be brought on site for material processing. <br />
